Spring Concert – May 1st:
Our next concert is on Friday, May 1st, at 7:00PM in the BHS Gymnasium.
Our attire will be artist black; please see the artist black guidelines later in the document.
Itinerary:
5:45PM – Band Room Opens
We will need a crew of students here at this time to move chairs, stands, the podium, and percussion equipment to the gym lobby.
6:00PM – Set up the Gym
We will need a small crew to help set up everything.
6:30PM – Call Time in proper attire.
Everyone will be in the gym in the set-up for warm-up, tune, and spot-check the music.
Remember that this is an important time, as we will need to get used to the acoustics of the space.
Those not in the proper attire will not be allowed to perform. If someone has a problem acquiring the proper attire, please see Mr. Mayo.
7:00PM – Concert Performance
Recital – We are excited to once again have our spring recital on May 16th. See the information later in this document for recital information.
Spring Percussion Ensemble Sign-up has already happened. Students are rehearsing afterschool on Wednesdays until 5:00PM. For those who signed up, participation will be tied into their grade, as this chamber ensemble is highly dependent on one another for success. They will perform at the University of Memphis Percussion Festival on April 11th and the final spring concert on May 1st. More information about the Percussion Festival will be shared on April 11th.
High School Percussion Spring Training
Spring training is taking place from 3:00PM-5:00PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the semester in the BHS Band room.
If a student wishes to be a part of the 2026-2027 percussion section, they must attend all of the spring training sessions.
Students are allowed one unexcused absence from spring training for the semester. If more than one occurs and they wish to be part of the section, they will need to meet with Mr. Mayo and the percussion staff.
We understand that conflicts and illness can arise. If this occurs, please communicate with Mr. Mayo and the percussion staff.
There is a bus that can transfer students from BMS to BHS. Mr. Maness and Mr. Mayo will be sharing that bus information with students soon.
Winter Guard practices are taking place each Thursday afterschool until 4:15PM.
Information about applying for leadership for the 2026-2027 school year will be released closer to the end of the semester. Leadership positions normally entail a playing portion, written/typed essay portion, and an interview. Drum majors normally additionally work on a series of conducting tasks and prepare some conducting excerpts.
